Guild Wars 2

So, to end any speculation for those of you questioning what place we are fighting for as SBI, it is first. We have been fighting for first since day one. We’re also not a server that really is willing to partner up with another server as well, there’s a lot of politics involved with that, that most of us aren’t willing to touch. I’m sure a lot of you have noticed these two points and those that state otherwise are probably just trying to troll the easily trollable from our server. That’s fine, it’s a pretty good strat to get people all riled up.

This past weekend our squads have struggled quite a bit and I’ll tell you what even I personally have seen. No swords between JQ and HoD. Now, the average SBI member would say, they are teaming us! Actually, no, it’s a valid tactic. If JQ is not attacking HoD and just holding their own, HoD will not attack them. Why would HoD advance further and spread themselves thin? Instead, what you see on the map is a rotation of JQ and HoD teams in constant attack for what I would say in this case is “free points.” Since the two servers don’t have any true advances going between them most of the time, they focus fire a target that is already forced to redirect forces to deal with the other server.

This leads to our team having to do a constant battle on two fronts, or in some cases one supply camp that is consistently zerged by both sides, as it should be, we are a threat just like all the other servers are a threat when you back someone in a corner. Better yet, if our teams are unchecked, I think we’ve proven that we will definitely take advantage of a comfortable situation and run rampant on the number 1 the best we can.

If people say that we are battling for 2nd? I highly doubt that, we are currently battling to stay alive and I can prove that to you in two examples alone. Last night on EB where my team was stationed with quite a few other teams, the teams managed to regain about half of EB. About two nights ago, my team was stationed on the HoD BL. I was able to partner up with some of our buddies in WM and we were able to solidify our 1/3 of the BL. It didn’t matter who owned what that was in our path, it was a matter of gaining realty.

Not to mention, we really do want first, I’m the first one to say that 2nd place is the first loser and we obviously want our fair timeshare in the limelight as the numero uno server. Followed by, “you don’t want to be a loser do you?” Which is responded by, “why do you have to be a d#@! Fine, let’s keep pushing!” We are not looking to just sit in a top tier bracket just to be there. We have been in the trenches fighting HoD non-stop consistently for going on 3 weeks now. The only way to take 1st is to minimize the 1st places points right? That’s what our server goal has been for a while.

So, I have not seen anyone communicate to our team leads on our server that we are fighting for second. A lot of our teams have been learning a lot from this past weekend and will continue to learn. Thanks for giving us a hell of a fight and making us work for every piece of land we own, it adds more pride to our guys when we finally do crack a granite shell. All of this fighting has really solidified a lot of our team structure and I believe everything that has happened with us has only made us stronger. Keep up the fight on all three sides and try to wreck every person in your paths, I know that’s how our teams are. So, even if we do get bumped out this week, don’t think we won’t be relentless and still shoot for first, we’ll only come back twice as hard.

Well played so far ladies and gentlemen. Keep it classy San Diego!

Coming from someone in JQ, we are most definitely fighting with HoD. Moreso, even. Depending on which BDL you are in you will have more fighting with the owner of the BDL than with the other invader world.

It doesn’t appear that anyone is teaming anyone this time around.

Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like last night JQ was definitely the one getting teamed on. xD

Not trying to be biased, but we had to defend one bay siege every 10 minutes for two hours. Often from both sides by both teams. xD

This post happens in every single matchup. It’s seriously old.
Seriously same thing Maguuma was accused of last matchup by Ebay.

It comes down to opportunity, and the fact that pubby zergs have a mind of their own. Once the snowballing starts, you can’t convince them to turn around and seek a different objective, they’ll keep on the path til they completely wipe.

By that logic, HoD should suspect SBI and JQ of teaming up on them for the garrison a few nights back.

Well, I was on for a couple hours last night on JQ Borderlands, and JQ was trying to tackle HoD the entire time by the camp on the west part of the map; and SBI was slowly creeping up JQ’s opposite side, instead of trying to pin HoD in the middle from what I noticed. I don’t blame them though, and I certainly don’t think any alliances are going. I think all three servers are making a go at it and I’ve seen all three servers accuse the other two of teaming up at some point.

So that this topic doesn’t go astray, I was not implying that any servers are teaming, I was stating that it is logical in instances to have a non-pacted cease fire because it is strategically sound at those opportune moments.

Welcome to fighting 2vs1.

Yes, I agree completely. It will happen to everyone at some point. That was what I was hinting at in my post. I was just just saying how silly it is that everyone accuses the other two, when it happens to all of us at some point.

JQ is a pretty unlikeable server so it would make sense that SBI eschewed an alliance with you in favor of seeing your demotion to 4th seed.

“It is ok, our alliance with SERVERNAMEHERE will keep us in second!”

Anyway, here here. Very well stated.

Just to restate, the point of the OP is that double teaming happens out of opportunity and situational advantages rather than out of any alliances or partnerships, and that double teaming can change from one moment to the next. It is an organic outcome of certain situations within wuvwuv.

why do people waste their time writing a long kitten essay about crap like this….im sure everyone wants to be first. only took me 2 lines to say that…

Everyone is teaming with everyone!
tinfoil hat

Everyone, come!

Umm….no… what really happened is SBI is nolonger willing to pay their protection money, they’re now paying for their insolence.

Without any orbs and facing a wall of bleating plebs at every turn, the outlook is very grim for SBI.

Hoping to see some new challengers next match!
